 "The Byrom Collection", a few observations
The basic premise of the book is founded on the author’s accidental discovery of a small collection of detailed drawings dating from 1570 to 1730.
The collection was compiled by John Byrom (1692-1763) an English poet, hymnist, and inventor of a system of shorthand, as well as a student of religious mysticism.
Hancox believes that the geometric patterns found in the drawings represent an astrological underpinning for the construction plans for a number of churches as well as for Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.

He knew the hymnist personally, having worked with him on many occasions, and he is aware of the importance to him of the Word in hymns.
As a result, he went to work for the Union of Independents, and came into contact with the committee that was responsible for publishing a new edition of ‘Y Caniedydd’.
He came to be secretary to the editors, and therefore became friendly with the likes of Elfed, Dyfnallt and J.J. Williams, and his interest in hymn-writing was greatly increased as they encouraged him to use his own innate ability as a hymnist.

Such was his popularity that a new chapel had to be built on the site of the old one in 1929 to accommodate everyone, after the membership had doubled to 500 under his guidance.

Few show an awareness of the meaning of Jesus’ death beyond “He died for me.” The biggest problem in the life of the contemporary hymnist is not sin but sadness.
Essentially, the bulk of contemporary hymns reflect a mindset that is satisfied with its spiritual immaturity.

 Meridian Magazine : : Print
So why was the old, faintly ridiculous version ever written?  Because the words and music were not written together.  The hymnist probably did not know that the composer would repeat the first two feet of the last line of each stanza.
The hymnist simply wrote “You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled,” which is not a problem, because you don’t repeat “yoo-hoo” three times.
So for a beginning hymnist, a good starting place is to take an existing hymn and write new words to fit the melody.  That may sound like putting new wine into old bottles — but it’s really a time-honored tradition.
